Children’s Sabbath slated

First Christian Church of Albany will celebrate Children’s Sabbath during 11:00 a.m. services on Sunday, Oct. 22.

“The kids will have some part in the program,” PastorBradMcBee said. “It’s basically about heightening awareness of children in the world.”

Children’s Sabbath is a multifaith project of Children’s Defense Fund focusing prayers, worship, education programs, and action on learning more about the urgent problems facing the nation’s children. By exploring sacred texts and teachings that call us to love and protect children, Children’s Sabbath encourages communities to respond with outreach and advocacy, and inspire year-round action to improve the lives of children.
